Grief and Bereavement Workshop

Contact: Brianna Bee (609) 204.3379 email: bbee@hansenfoundationnj.org
Cost: free

What to expect:
Grief Café is a monthly workshop hosted on the 1st Sunday of each month from 1pm to 3pm (times may vary). This workshop will be facilitated by a Pastoral Care Team. The group offers emotional and spiritual support for those who have experienced a significant loss in their life. There are no steps to this program -it is a contemplative approach to surviving loss, within your own time and space.

Grief has a language all its own –it’s complicated –it’s undefined, with no meaningful answers. Grief Café is a place to connect with the emotional pain of loss, loneliness, anger, sadness, or guilt. Learning to live with the mystery of our humanity is a process where you may find, you are not alone, and we are just passing through.

Refuge Recovery is grounded in the belief that Buddhist principles and practices create a strong foundation for a path to freedom from addiction. This program is an approach to recovery that understands: All individuals have the power and potential to free themselves from the suffering that is caused by addiction. We feel confident in the power of the buddha’s teachings, if applied, to relieve suffering of all kinds, including the suffering of addiction. This is a process that cultivates a path of awakening, the path of recovering from the addictions and delusions that have created so much suffering in our lives and in this world.
